Chapter 134】Request for Help, Monthly Pass in Crisis!
(Sorry, there was no internet this morning. Thank you very much to the new Hall Master [EYE迷茫] and the new Sect Leader [Fisherman Cook C]. This is the first Sect Leader in any of my books since the ranking started, very grateful! Also, thanks to all brothers who voted for Monthly Passes, now there are no restrictions, Monthly Pass votes for other books are increasing quickly, new book Monthly Pass charts are in urgent need! I'm desperately asking more brothers to lend a hand!)
After persuading Huang Xuhui and Jiang Wen to leave, the two of them went to play on a raft once, then just wandered around without playing more games. Finally, they went inside a KFC located there, ordered some food, and sat down to chat.
Previously in the "Hell" where there was no light, Wen Qianyi had inquired about Li Yan's personal situation, but he brushed it off with a vague answer of being somewhat ordinary, somewhat special, combined to be particularly ordinary. There was no light there, making it hard to see people's facial expressions. Now in a good environment, she could directly observe his facial expressions up close, but this way, she was even more reluctant to ask.
While Wen Qianyi was observing him, Li Yan was observing the surroundings. Whether inside the KFC restaurant or looking outside through the glass, it was his instinct.
It's not meal time at the moment, but this is a KFC inside an amusement park, so there are quite a few visitors coming in to eat. Despite the crowd, nothing seemed unusual, except for a waiter who kept glancing over at him, and when Li Yan caught his eyes, the waiter would quickly look away.
"Hey beautiful, may I ask what that young man's name is? He looks somewhat familiar to me." Li Yan whispered as a server was delivering food to a nearby table.
The waiter looked and said, "I think his name is Wei Yu, he's a college student working part-time."
"Thank you."
Wen Qianyi curiously looked over, "Your friend?"
"Actually, I don't really remember him at all, but I noticed he's been eyeing me, and I was wondering if he knows me. But his name doesn't ring a bell. Even if I saw him before, he'd probably just be a passerby," Li Yan chuckled and stopped looking over.
Wen Qianyi teasingly grinned, "Maybe you're too charming, so when people see a handsome guy like you, they naturally take a few extra glances."
"Oh man, that effect should belong to a beauty like you, right? Besides, if attracting the same sex is part of the charm, I'd rather not have it." Li Yan gestured as if he were struck by lightning.
"Hey! It's not just one person, look, another guy is watching you now." Wen Qianyi looked on with even more interest. With her beauty and constant smile, she quickly became the center of attention wherever she went, and many patrons in the restaurant were secretly glancing at her. But she found it novel that there were two guys sneaking looks at Li Yan.
Li Yan turned to look and saw that the person whispering with Wei Yu was another young man of similar age. After talking, when he noticed Li Yan looking over, he smiled and nodded, then walked directly over.
"Hi! Coach, what a coincidence!" The young man walked over to Li Yan casually, taking the initiative to greet him.
"You're Bai…" Li Yan remembered him, as last time when he went to S University to watch Yu Xiaodi play tennis, Bai Feijin was the cheerleading lead and clearly liked, wanted to pursue Yu Xiaodi. Wei Yu was probably one of the students present as well.
"Bai Feijin, coach, you remember! My classmate Wei Yu and I are working here part-time, didn't expect to see you."
Bai Feijin initially had some hostility towards Li Yan, due to Yu Xiaodi's attitude, enough to treat him as a rival. But now seeing Li Yan with such a stunning beauty—who not only matched but surpassed Yu Xiaodi in charm, having a mature allure incomparable to a college student—he was friendly as he believed this coach wouldn't be interested in Yu Xiaodi anymore.
"Oh, very diligent." Li Yan casually replied, silently confused. What day of the week is it today, working as a part-time adventure? What kind of school is this?
"Would you and the lady like to have something? It's on me," Bai Feijin courteously offered.
Li Yan pointed to the table, "We've already ordered. Besides, wouldn't letting you treat be a waste of effort? Better to ask directly if you have any questions! I see you guys are quite busy."
Seeing Li Yan being straight with him, Bai Feijin didn't hold back either, he softly asked, "Coach, do you know why Xiaodi hasn't come to school? None of us know why she's taken leave."
"Of course, I know."
"Why?"
"And of course, I won't tell you."
"Why?" Bai Feijin felt a bit disappointed, then added, "How about I order each of you an extra set meal…"
Seeing his genuine urge to know, Li Yan shook his head, "Little Bai, better find another tree to hang your plea. If Xiaodi wants you to know, she would naturally call and tell you. And if she doesn't want you to know, what's the point in me telling you? Can you change anything?"
His well-intentioned advice sounded smug to Bai Feijin, as if boasting a closer relationship than his, which made him anxious. He opened his mouth several times, finally gathering courage, leaned in and whispered accusingly, "Uncle! You already have such a beautiful girlfriend? Still, peeking at greener pastures while eating? Being of age, still competing against us students for girlfriends?"
Li Yan fell speechless, though Bai Feijin whispered, Wen Qianyi could still hear, and she was discreetly enjoying the situation with a suppressed chuckle.
